Ogliera beach, in Marina di Campo, Island of Elba

The Ogliera Beach is located in Pomonte, south of the Wreck Beach.

It extends for about 300 meters, interrupted in some points by high rocks and boulders, until the rocky promontory at the southern end of the beach, where even today a fisherman pulls his boat ashore.

It is made up of fine gravel and pebbles, and at times, you can find mounds of posidonia on the shoreline. The sea is very beautiful, blue, crystal clear and limpid, ideal for wonderful swims and for practicing snorkeling and diving.

The high and rocky coast that overlooks it makes the beach barely visible from the road, making it perfect for those who love privacy and wild, free beaches.

It takes its name from the Ogliera Rock, located directly in front of the beach, which is very famous because just a few meters below the surface, it hides the Elviscot Wreck, the ship that sank in 1972 after running aground on the rock.

The beach, when the wind blows from the southwest, is exposed to strong waves.

How to reach Ogliera Beach

The beach is accessible from Wreck Beach by walking in the sea. To get there, you'll need to wade through the water and be very careful when walking on the slippery rocks in the sea.

Another option is a short but very steep trail that, passing through a lovely pine grove, leads down to the sea. It is trail number 126A of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, which starts near a curve south of Pomonte, about 900 meters from the Church square. Since it is very steep and difficult, it is important to be cautious during the descent, especially with children.
